Fedora VPS — fresh, but not chaotic
Fedora ships genuinely current packages and kernels on a roughly 6-month cadence, without going full rolling. It's the upstream where the next RHEL is built — a developer's sweet spot.

Runs comfortably on the Micro plan — $5/mo
Who Fedora is for
Developers
Recent language runtimes, compilers and libraries without hunting for backports or third-party repos.
RHEL preview
What lands in Fedora today becomes RHEL/Rocky tomorrow — build and test against the future.
Modern defaults
New kernels, current systemd, SELinux, up-to-date crypto — a clean, contemporary base.
First commands after boot
Fedora uses dnf, like the RHEL family, but with far newer packages. SELinux is enforcing by default.
# update the systemdnf upgrade -y# install a package with dnfdnf install -y nginxWhen Fedora isn't the answer
Each release is supported ~13 months, so a long-lived server means upgrading roughly yearly — for set-and-forget, Debian or Rocky is calmer. It's also heavier than Alpine for a single small service. Great for development, less ideal for a box you never want to touch.

Fedora VPS — FAQ
Fedora or Ubuntu?
Fedora ships newer packages and is closer to upstream; Ubuntu has more third-party guides and longer LTS. Developers who want current tools tend to prefer Fedora.
How long is a release supported?
About 13 months. Plan to upgrade roughly once a year, or pick Rocky 9 for a 10-year lifecycle.
Is it stable enough for a server?
Yes — it's not rolling; releases are tested. Just newer than the enterprise distros, which is the point.
Full root and SELinux?
Full root from first boot; SELinux is enforcing by default, which most stacks handle transparently.
